WordPress Blog Add On for Carterlake/AJAX/PHP Templates Now Available

[ThorntonWeather]

... includes some WP 2.7 css for the new comments features

Mike,

What are the new comments features of WP 2.7?  Just curious as I upgraded to 2.7 without a problem BUT I don't run the standard templates.

Ok, Mike, changed my header too, I use something a little different, seems to look good now.

Tony,

One of the new features of WP 2.7 is threaded comments, you can enable that in wp-admin, settings, discussion, check "Enable threaded nested comments"

The theme has to support the new feature or it just looks like the old comments. This new wxblog.zip supports it.

Scroll down on this page and you will see threaded comments.

Mike,

Using your instructions, I successfully upgraded from 2.6 to 2.7 without a hitch.  One question though......My CSS doesn't validate from some reason??  http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.relayweather.com%2Fwxblog%2F

Can you shed any light on this?  Note: This could have been an issue prior to upgrading.

Cheers,
Michael

Michael, did you do step 1?

This is what you need to do:
Step 1) install this new style switcher css set version 1.16 17-Dec-2008: (it is backwards compatible)
http://www.642weather.com/weather/scripts/css-theme-switcher.zip
replace all the css files and the include-style-switcher.php from this zip file to your server in the same directory where your carterlake  template is

Mike,

My fault....I didn't do step 1 because I have edited my *.css file and am afraid to upgrade.  I will download, compare and add back the items that I need.

I have been working to update my website to the Ajax/PHP. template. I have it all going except for the blog which I started on tonight. I had a blog on my website before I changed the template. I ran into a couple of issues

1. My blog dashboard says that I should upgrade from 2.6.2 to 2.8.4, but when I do, it says that I am up to date and do not need to upgrade.

2. I went ahead and tried to change my pages to the new template format. It went somewhat OK, but I am getting an error in the blog navigation:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_search_form() in /virtual/users/e15586-16411/web/wordpress/wp-content/themes/wxblog/sidebar.php on line 10

The sidebar.php is in th ecorrect directory though.

3. It is also missing the footer.php and all my old blogs. Will this be corrected once #2 above is fixed?

Wrdpress 2.7 required changes to the templates.

This is the new thread for it:
For upgrade, start here, follow the step by step carefully.
